- Increased accuracy of tests and reporting.
- Better support for complex pages, including processing of pages with frames and iframes.
- Customizable shortcut key functionality to quickly and easily process WAVE reports.
- WAVE icons now feature a tooltip window that provides additional detail about the icon. Simply place your mouse over an icon to see these additional details.
- A new context menu. Right click…, WAVE Toolbar…, then select a report option.This context menu can be turned on or off in the Options.
- An improved mini-toolbar. You can drag the WAVE toolbar icon onto any other Firefox toolbar for quick access to WAVE Toolbar functionality while using only a small amount of screen real estate.

Thanks for the update, Jared, very much appreciated! I am using the toolbar for some time now and I must say it is just brilliant! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this update, especially the new mini-toolbar improves the handling for me greatly. Thanks for that.
I have a question. I am not familiar with the firefox browser. If I go to the free download and install, will it un-install my Internet Explorer program? I would like to have both. Is it easy to instruct during download to not override IE? Thanks!

No, Firefox will not remove IE. Both browsers will remain on your computer. When you install Firefox, it will prompt you if you want to use it as your primary web browser. If you select “No”, IE will remain the default. You can always change your primary/default web browser later.
